In the 1960s my brother worked in a geriatric hospital in an isolated part of the Lake District. 3 weeks after he started working there one of the staff told him that during the ten years he'd been working there he'd killed over 400 patients ... and that some of the other staff were also engaging in the same behaviour. My brother was expected to be "part of the team". Killing of patients by staff .. and sometimes by other patients (encouraged by the staff) was not uncommon in these old style large geriatric hospitals.

You've been warned about not taking your pills senior

in 1990 my 70 year old mother developed arthritis in her hands. Her GP said to her: "You can't expect much inthe way of treatment at your age". Doctors back then had the right to remove elderly people from their books ... and it not infrequently happened. We took my mother to a private alternative practitioner who cured her within a couple of weeks (some forms of arthritis are caused by dietary factors). She lived a healthy life for another 20 years.

When the Harold Shipman case firsi broke the police made a point of saying that his alleged victims were not frail, elderly people who had reached the end of their lives.
